Hungry Hollow Trail
I love having an amazing trail so close to home. When I was a kid Hungry Hollow had no bridge and was, in winter, an interesting -terrifying – car ride. Now it has a beautifully constructed trail along Silver Creek. The ravine is one of my favourite parts of Georgetown, and was a huge part of my childhood. This trail showcases some of the best parts, going from the flat creek to the hilly wooded area. You can even see the posts from the old camp. The day we went was perfect. The sun was shining, no clouds in sight but the shade afforded a relief. The only downside is…

Latourell Falls
Latourell Falls is the first waterfall along the Columbia River Gorge and it is a stunning first stop. When you get your first glimpse, through the bright green foliage, it looks tiny but by the time you reach the bottom of the cliff you are the small one.

The bright yellow lichen covering the side of the cliff, and almost neon moss around the base, make the falls outstanding. You don’t even realize how much time has passed while watching the water flow. It is incredible how close they are to these stunning waterfalls. Latourell Falls definitely…

Historic Columbia River Highway
In early April a friend and I took a trip to Portland, Oregon. We had no real plan so my family took us to the Historic Columbia River Highway, to see the gorgeous waterfalls. The first stage of the journey was the stunning lookout at the Portland’s Women Forum of the Columbia River and the gorge. The cascading mountains along the water, even on a grey day, was breathtaking. Everything is already so green from the mild winter, and the trees lining the hills were beautiful. The second stop was the the Vista House at Crown Point. I saw the building at the first lookout and was immediately drawn to…

Brothers Creek Loop
On Saturday I ventured to my friends house on the North Shore. We planned for a photo adventure and settled on Brothers Creek Loop. We weren’t out for too long because of the rain, but I did manage to get a few good shots. The fog on the water was so thick, and we were so high up that you couldn’t see anything, but it was stunning. Everything was so lush and green. The trail was great, clearly marked paths but you could still explore. The trees were massive, and there were lots of streams, and bridges. It was a fun day, and hopefully next time when we go out…
